Share 'Energy Efficient Design for the not so rich'

Having worked for 30 plus years in the Weatherization program I was not rich. When we had the opportunity 3 years ago to build a new home for my wife and I we tried to take our Building Science knowledge and build a home close to zero fossil fuel heat. Thought I would share with the group how we have almost achieved this for under $40,000 by building a pole constructed house.
